Safe Scale-Up of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Processes with Dimethyl Sulfoxide as the Solvent and a Reactant or a Byproduct

Abstract: Thermal hazard analyses of two reactions, one with DMSO as the solvent and a reactant and one with DMSO as the solvent and a byproduct, identified low-probability but severe consequence process risks associated with violent decomposition of DMSO during heating control failure or external heating. Although DMSO cannot be totally eliminated from these reactions, using an alternative solvent to replace DMSO proved to be an effective measure in reducing the thermal hazards to allow safe scale-up.

“…The oxidation of a 2-hydroxyamide under Moffatt conditions was the last step along the synthesis of the serine protease inhibitor boceprevir (Scheme ). Recently, this oxidation was performed with DMP in ethyl acetate, thus avoiding the displeasing odor of dimethyl sulfide, which represents an important drawback on the industrial scale …”

“…69 Recently, this oxidation was performed with DMP in ethyl acetate, 70 thus avoiding the displeasing odor of dimethyl sulfide, which represents an important drawback on the industrial scale. 71 Several methodologies for the oxidation of alcohols with stoichiometric dioxygen by using metal oxides as well as homogeneous or heterogeneous metal complexes as the catalysts have been developed in the last two decades. Furthermore, in recent years the asymmetric variants of the aerobic catalytic processes have attracted a lot of attention.…”

“…Previously, the use of DMF that belongs to the second haz ard class as a co-solvent for hydrophobization of metal surfaces with stearic acid was re ported [6]. In contrast, DMSO that belongs to the fourth hazard class is much less toxi [51][52][53] and is even recommended for pharmaceutical applications to provide an accepta ble rate of transdermal drug delivery [54,55]. Therefore, the replacement of DMF with DMSO would help reduce the risks of poisoning, development of oncological disease [56,57], and the impact on the environment if this approach to hydrophobization of the surfaces of metals and alloys were to be used on an industrial scale.…”

“…Based on the observations from these experiments, a combination of DMSO and EtOAc was selected for further development and scale-up. 17,18 In a risk assessment exercise prior to the further development and scale-up of the DMSO/EtOAc recrystallization, the risk of forming the methylthiomethyl ester impurity 7 (Figure 4) via a Pummerer rearrangement was highlighted. An authentic sample of methylthiomethyl ester 7 was prepared 7,19,20 and the risk discharged as no methylthiomethyl ester was detected by HPLC analysis.…”
